The YCC change will be December to March 24. Swap markets are now liquid I.e it’s no longer a surprise and illiquid event. Japan changes at a very slow pace. Yen rates are -.25 & Usd rates are 5.5%. Which one matters more if rates move? As we start to near peak rates, & Japan will look to intervene as well as change policy... I hope this helps

I fully agree with you on that. Def agree about 2H 2023 and carry trade unwinding. I still don't fully understand YCC though and will dig deeper on that in the context of ending the YCC. One parting thought: I wouldn't particularly trust the bankers when they say YCC is temporary. It might be, but, as we all know, temporary public policies have a nasty habit of becoming perpetual ones...
Thank you for your reply and interesting discussion!
